The State of Qatar has welcomed the bans by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Belgium on Israeli settlement products.
It considered the move a crucial step that supports efforts aimed at deterring the occupation's settlement policies, which flagrantly violate the resolutions of international legitimacy, particularly Security Council Resolution 2334, and represent an egregious encroachment upon the rights of the Palestinian people.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the State of Qatar hopes that more countries will take similar steps in this context and stressed the importance of the international community undertaking its legal and moral responsibilities to compel Israel to halt its settlement policies in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The ministry reiterated the State of Qatar's iron-clad and enduring position in support of the Palestinian cause and the brotherly Palestinian people, based on the resolutions of international legitimacy and the two-state solution to ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
